Look at the Book

The birth of Jesus is not a Greek myth nor a vision seen by a false prophet. It is a historical reality orchestrated by the Father.

Those who make an impact in this world for Christ are those who labor for fruit and desire to be home with their Lord.

It is not until a Christian is convinced that death is truly gain that he truly begins to live.

Your life will only be lived to the fullest when you’re convinced that dying and going to be with Christ is truly gain.

Joy is not optional for all those who seek to glorify God with their lives.

The people of God are the dwelling place of God — and he cares how clean his house is.

It is foolish to reason that God only cares about our theology and not how we live out that theology.

Flee from sexual immorality to the Savior who holds all the joy and satisfaction you’re looking for.

Walking in the light is a matter of life and death for the Christian. If we don’t walk in the light now, we won’t later.

Fake Christians love darkness because it hides the sin that they love more than God.

The honor of our Master is more important than our dreams, our ambitions, and our very lives.

If our theology stops us from praying for others’ salvation, we should reconsider our theology.

Pain comes, suffering invades, and tears fall. But the Christian faith is one of inescapable joy.

Peter charges us to be ready in season and out of season to give a defense of the hope that is in us. If asked to give a defense tomorrow, would you be ready?

Christians may, at times, have unchristian motives in their ministry. But they must not have a wrong gospel.

Cultures change. Opinions come and go. God’s word stands forever.

Tigers exist, butterflies exist, mountains exist, forests exist, music exists, humans exist, the solas exist, everything ultimately exists for the glory of God alone.

A sinner is justified by faith alone or he is not justified at all.

Muhammad will not save you. Buddha will not save you. Mary will not save you. The Pope will not save you. Parents, president, and yoga pose will not save you. Christ alone!

God’s grace alone makes the blind see, the lame walk, the dead live, and the sinner saved.

In an age of corruption and false teaching, the Protestant Reformers returned to the Scriptures.

Envy of other Christians makes us suspicious of their gifts and ungrateful for our own. But because of Christ, we need not live or minister from rivalry.

What will make the timid speak, the cowardly stand, and the weak strong? Belief in their God.

Prosperity preachers would rob us of the opportunity to show the world that Christ is truly worth suffering and dying for.

Bullets can stop pastors. Shackles can stop missionaries. But nothing can stop the gospel.

Marriage is a parable of the gospel, telling of Christ’s unrelenting love for his bride.

You will never grow in holiness until you see that the ultimate essence of evil is the refusal to be happy in God.

Bible study without meditation is chewing without swallowing. When we recover the lost art, we will experience more joy in God and his word.

People say that God has a wonderful plan for their lives, often meaning that God will help them achieve their dreams. But God’s plans are far superior to our own.

Being blameless for the day of Christ doesn’t mean that we lived perfectly. It means that we lived a life hating our sin, seeking holiness, and trusting in Christ.

Our neighborhoods need men and women who delight in beauty not pornography, excellence not crudity, Christ and not the world.

If Jesus tells us to go and pray to our heavenly Father in secret, should I ever tell others that I am praying for them?

When God saves someone, he not only gives them a new love for himself, but a new love for his people.

Slavery is a haunting skeleton in the closet of many nations of the world. But doesn’t the Bible say there will be slaves in heaven?

God does not save us and send us to the couch. God calls his people to work out their salvation with fear and trembling and sends them out into a lost world.

Man’s will changes God’s plans like a gentle breeze changes the mountain.

God didn’t get his people part way out of Egypt or halfway through the Red Sea. Our God completes what he begins.

We cannot fight sin with our hands tied in condemnation. Only when Christ has set us free can we truly conquer our sin.

Bombs explode. Wars rage. Adultery devastates. With so much wickedness in the world, can we really say that God rules over everything?

Grace has brought us safe thus far, and grace will bring us home.

A day is drawing near that will swallow up all other days. Great days, bad days, slow days, fast days all lead unfailingly to judgment day.

Christians are robbed of help and God is robbed of praise when we are too proud to ask others for prayer.

Anyone who tells us that following Jesus is easy doesn’t know what it means to follow him. The way is hard, but the path leads to life.

Digging for treasure is harder than raking leaves. But those who aren’t afraid of callouses can find spiritual diamonds in God’s word.

Many respect Jesus as a good moral teacher like Gandhi or Socrates. But the Jesus of the Bible will not allow you to make that claim.

Few relationships in this life compare with gospel friendships. Better to have one Christ-centered companion than one million followers on social media.

We may outgrow childhood clothes and car seats, but as children of God, we never outgrow our need for grace and peace.

Kingdoms need a king. Children need parents. Sheep need shepherds. The Church needs servant leaders that point them to their King, Father, and Shepherd.

Sainthood is not a trophy for the spiritually elite to win. It’s a free gift that every child of God receives.

Slavery has horrible connotations in our day — and for good reason. But servitude to God gives life instead of taking it away.
